MITCHELL, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Davison County Commission will hear from proponents and opponents of a soybean processing plant that would be located just south of Mitchell.
The $450 million South Dakota Soybean Processors’ facility would be located at the intersection of 257th Street and Highway 37.
Nearly 100 people attended a Davison County Planning and Zoning Committee meeting last Tuesday night. The committee recommended approval of a conditional use permit for the plant.
Residents who were opposed to the facility expressed concerns about increased traffic in the area.
The facility would add around 75 jobs. If approved, construction would begin next summer.
